Jia Xingtian's Speculations

After hearing Mu Tie's narration, Jia Xingtian, who had been calm at first, suddenly became sharp-eyed and asked Mu Tie, "Is what you said true?"

Nodding, Mu Tie said solemnly: "It is absolutely true. I saw him fly with his Dou Qi Wings. He also took out the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist and used a Heavenly Flame."

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. He knew a little about Xiao Ling.

When the news came from Wutan City, Xiao Ling had already left the Jiama Empire and went to study at Canaan Academy in the Black Corner Region.

Later, after Xiao Yan's talent rose, because he had an engagement with the Nalan family, and the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, Nalan Yanran, joined the Yunlan Sect and became Yun Yun's direct disciple, this aroused Jia Xingtian's vigilance.

They also conducted some detailed investigations into some of Xiao Ling's past events and interviewed some members of the Xiao family. Unfortunately, apart from practicing, Xiao Ling only stayed with a young girl from the clan. Both of them went to Canaan Academy at a young age. Apart from their appearance, they didn't find out anything useful. It's a pity that this genius was not discovered earlier.

It has to be said that the Xiao family's deliberate concealment of Xiao Ling's talent did reduce a lot of trouble for him when he was weak. Although they could not completely block the information about Xiao Ling, those people who heard the news thought it was exaggerated. After all, the Jiama Empire had never seen such a genius in all these years.

Touching his gray beard, Jia Xingtian said to himself: "Now that Xiao Ling has risen, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Mu Tie, who was standing by, recalled what Xiao Ling had said before, and quickly said, "Xiao Ling also said that he wanted the royal family to help him with something. He could make pills for the royal family."

"Then tell me in detail, how exactly does he need help from the royal family and what kind of reward will he give us?" Jia Xingtian asked curiously. Now Xiao Ling has not shown any inclination towards any faction. Even if he cannot be won over to the royal family, there will be no harm in making friends with him.

After recalling Xiao Ling's explanation, Mu Tie said, "Xiao Ling seems to want to bring his family back to the imperial capital to live, and hopes that the royal family can escort the Xiao family to the imperial capital. The reward he offered is that as long as three sets of medicinal materials for Breaking Sect Pill are collected, he can help the royal family refine a Breaking Sect Pill."

After listening to Mu Tie's words, especially when he heard the three words "Breaking Sect Pill", there seemed to be some light in Jia Xingtian's slightly turbid eyes.

The yard fell into silence again, and Jia Xingtian seemed to be digesting this incredible information.

After a long silence, he took a sip of tea and said to himself: "The Breaking Sect Pill, this is a sixth-grade top-level elixir that can help Dou Huang peak to break through Dou Zong. I didn't expect that this boy could refine the Breaking Sect Pill at such a young age. This talent is really terrifying, worthy of being the "first genius in the Jia Ma Empire in a thousand years." It seems that he wants the royal family to take care of his family more because he can't be in the family often. But with the engagement between Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, and Nalan Yanran, the eldest lady of the Nalan family, why doesn't he seek help from the Nalan family and the Yunlan Sect. It seems that there must be some hidden secrets that we don't know. Now that Xiao Yan's talent has been lost, Nalan Yanran may look down on Xiao Yan. Could it be..."

Jia Xingtian is also a veteran who has lived for many years. From the few words revealed by Xiao Ling, he can guess that Xiao Ling is biased against the Yunlan Sect.

After figuring out some things, Jia Xingtian felt suddenly enlightened. The most urgent thing was to communicate with Xiao Ling and establish a good relationship.

Moreover, escorting the Xiao family members to the imperial capital was not a matter worth mentioning. It was just sending out some manpower.

As for the issue of security, no one in the Jiama Empire dares to openly oppose the royal family.

Moreover, he himself was quite coveting the Breaking Sect Pill. If he could take a Breaking Sect Pill, perhaps he could break through to the Dou Zong level in his lifetime and extend his life by a hundred years.  

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian decided to take action immediately.

He said to Mu Tie: "You have made great contributions this time. You can go to the Merit Office to receive the highest level reward. I have to deal with some things first. Don't forget to return to Zhen Gui Pass to take up your post after receiving the reward. If the commander-in-chief is not there and we are suddenly attacked by the enemy, then we will be in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xingtian spread out a pair of khaki Dou Qi Wings and flew rapidly towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Looking at the direction where Jia Xingtian left, Mu Tie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "This matter is finally completed, and it's worth the few days of travel I've been on. The letter to the Xiao family will arrive soon, and I have to explain to the head of the family first. When the Xiao family moves to the imperial capital, I have to establish a good relationship with the Xiao family as soon as possible."

…

After flying for a while, Jia Xingtian arrived deep in the imperial palace, next to an ancient-style martial arts training ground.

His eyes turned to a woman on the stage, he saw her waving a spear in her hand, looking heroic.

This woman is none other than the current crown princess of the Jia Ma Empire, Yao Ye.

Seeing Jia Xingtian appear at the side of the martial arts field, Yao Ye, who was practicing fighting skills, stopped what she was doing, walked up to him, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, why do you have time to come to see Ye'Er today? Is there something?"

Jia Xingtian did not speak directly, but took Yao Ye to sit in the pavilion nearby.

After brewing two cups of tea, he handed one to Yao Ye, then picked up the other cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and said, "The genius who was famous in the Jia Ma Empire back then, Xiao Ling from the Xiao family in Wu Tan City, has returned from Canaan Academy after further studies. He is now a Dou Wang powerhouse and a sixth-grade alchemist, and according to my calculations, his alchemy skills have surpassed Gu He. This time I came to you because I have something to arrange for you to do."

Yao Ye on the opposite side found it a little unbelievable after listening to Jia Xingtian's narration. How old was Xiao Ling now, but his cultivation was several realms higher than hers. He was also a sixth-rank alchemist. According to what her great-grandfather said, his attainments in alchemy were even stronger than Gu He, the guest elder of Yunlan Sect.

After all, Yao Ye had received a good education since childhood, so she quickly accepted this fact. Since her great grandfather had confirmed it, the news must be true. So she asked curiously, "Could it be that what the great grandfather wanted Ye'Er to do is related to Xiao Ling?"

With a slight nod, Jia Xingtian told Yao Ye everything that Mu Tie had described to him before.

After Yao Ye digested this information, Jia Xingtian said, "You will prepare three batches of medicinal materials for refining Breaking Sect Pill. If there are any materials missing, go and exchange them with the major forces in the imperial capital. Be sure to prepare them before Xiao Ling arrives in the imperial capital!"
